May I point out that that has nothing to do with my pride? Cyprus is partially ours and I wasnt alive in the time of the Ottoman empire. I am not of Ottoman descent Ronin4hire. My father is a Central Asian Turk (Turkic/Turkmen) and my mother is a nomad from that area also. What about the pride of:
- Americans (ultra capitalism, native-american issues, Iraq/Afghanistan, Vietnam)
- Germans (WWII)
- Dutch (Indonesia)
- Indonesians (Maluku)
- and many others?
Can't they be proud?
I thought so..
